spring onions(again)
Despite the help from some gardeners out there, my spring onions are
struggling they have got to 3-4 inches eventually, but are very thin and weedy and seem to be dying off on the tops. Could it be too much or too little water ? ( and will this affect my onions and shallots which seem to be shooting well ?). I put the spring onions in a small plastic type shelter at night to protect them from frost but am not sure if they should be in the sun or shade during the hot weather. Obviously I am very much a beginner so I will be grateful for any help |
spring onions(again)
My experience (pretty limited) with spring onions is that they are very slow
to develop. Mine are very thin and approx 1 inch under mini polytunnels after about 4 weeks. They do however develop fine eventually and last very well. I think I had the last of last years crop in late Jan or early Feb. The tops are probably just nipped alittle by frost and will recover fine. Water situation: don't know. I just try to keep mine moist, i.e. neither wet nor dry. I,m sure they'll be OK and they are just the best in a cheese sandwich:-) Jonny miklol wrote in message ...
